Steph Curry cleared for contact, participated in scrimmage while still eyeing March 1 return

Stephen Curry is back — well, nearly.

Curry, months after breaking his left hand, was cleared for contact and took part in a team scrimmage without restrictions on Saturday, the biggest step in his recovery to date.

He’s now eying an official return to the court on March 1, when the Golden State Warriors will host the Washington Wizards.

“It feels good,” Curry said of his hand, via ESPN. It’s been a long 3½-plus months, whatever it is. Just trying to understand all the different checkpoints I had to try and get through to get to this point and then what’s left, but this is the fun part, I guess, where you get to actually play basketball and worry about what happens in between the lines and not so much the specific rehab parts.
